Food for Agile Thought’s issue #130—shared with 14,911 peers—covers once more the corporate agile failure at legacy organizations. We like the guide to suitable agile metrics by XSCALE Alliance’s Leon Tranter, and we deal with how to scale and align a growing engineering team.

We then dive deep into the psychology of creating products: from confirmation bias, Kahneman’s systems 1 and 2, the benefits of listening to talking, persuasion techniques, to 25 cognitive biases.

Lastly, we remember the project management nightmare called ‘waterfall.’

Join us on March 10th, 2018 at the ThoughtWorks office to continue the work on Agility Assessment Framework—Hands-on Agile’s new open source project. We want to finish a prototype that enables practitioners to assess an organizations suitability to become an agile organization.
